OFCC Sues City of Cleveland Heights, Ohio The sign you see here is posted in Cleveland Heights Parks implying possession of a firearm is a crime. On Friday August 12th, 2011 Ohioans For Concealed Carry Filed a lawsuit against the City the City of Cleveland Heights. The litigation comes after many attempts to resolve concerns over laws that Cleveland Heights not only allowed to remain on their books, but also posted signs at their parks that continue to imply it is illegal to be armed. The City of Cleveland Heights has chosen to ignore our attempts at civil discourse. When individuals have contacted them representing themselves as residents of the City of Cleveland Heights their concerns apparently fell on deaf ears. When representatives of the organization have formally contacted the city's legal representation they've been laughed at and hung up on by the Law Director. It is this arrogance and refusal to work with Ohioans For Concealed Carry that has forced us to seek a remedy through the courts.

The News-Herald ran a story yesterday about HB347 and SB252: Ohio lawmakers propose bills in effort to clarify weapons law
"The good news is we've had concealed carry now for going on two years, and the problems foreseen by those who've opposed it have not come to pass," said state Sen. Tim Grendell, a co-sponsor of S.B. 252.
SB252 is HB347's sister legislation in the Ohio Senate. HB347 will most likely get passed into the Senate and supercede SB252.

The House Criminal Justice Committee is scheduled for 2:30pm today in room 121 of the Ohio Statehouse. Today the committee intends to hear Sponsor Testimony on HB508, legislation to prohibit confiscation of firearms as took place in New Orleans, and per the agenda substitute HB347 is expected to be presented and possibly accepted by the committee today.
